The cap is likely a high-voltage cap between hot and neutral AC. I'm confident your Audio Sound Lab board provides for the PAS to be fully fused as it is configured.
They likely upped the fuse value due to too many opening during power-up. 0.5A should be fine, and still offer you protection in the event of a short.
One question I didn't ask at the beginning, but have been curious about. Is there any particular reason you are replacing your PA211 transformer? Moving it externally, I understand. I did that on my Vorhis Last PAS, because I needed the room internally. I'm still using my original PAS transformer, and that's with somewhere around 80,000µF on the filaments. I just don't want to see you spending money on something you may not need.
Good luck with your project.
